One Layer Card
I love to create Clean & Simple cards or One Layer Card, but at the same time I love to use techniques and different textures on my creations. Combining both styles in a single card is not complicated when you have materials like VersaFine Clair. Let me show you my sample:
This is a single layer card created with the stamp sets God’s Masterpiece and Broken Brick Background from Joy Clair Stamps. To make it, I selected Whisper White cardstock and different colors of VersaFine Clair Inks.
Directions:
- Create the base of the card using Whisper White cardstock. The size of my card is a regular size 4-1/4″ x11″ with score in 5-1/2″.
- Stamp the Broken Brick Background on the upper part of the card using VersaFine Clair Morning Mist and cover it with clear embossing powder. Melt the powder with the heat tool.
- 3. Arrange the rest of the images on your stamping tool. I am using the Stamparatus from Stampin Up but any stamping tool is good for that.
- Continue inking only the stamps that will be the focus of the card. For that I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne and clear embossing powder.
- Continue the stamping process inking one by one the additional stamps with different tones of VersaFine Clair Ink and emboss them with clear embossing powder. Remember that one of the virtues that VersaFine Clair has is that you have more time to emboss your images.
- To “resolve or cover” my mistake, I stamped in a separate piece of Whisper White card stock the overlap part of the image, with the same ink and embossing. Then I fussy cut it with my scissors to use only the part that I need to replace.
- To give color to some of the stamped images, I used Fireworks with a paint brush. I applied and mixed the colors with the paint brush and retouched it to create shadows.
Why shouldn’t a single layer card have texture?
I definitely loved making this project. It kept the concept of a lot of white and no paper layers to be in the category of CAS.
